Pay attention after gastric surgery! The risk of "gastric stump cancer" is high

Yu Zhengzhan, director of general surgery at Taichung Tzu Chi Hospital, pointed out that people who have undergone stomach surgery are four to seven times more likely to suffer from gastric cancer than ordinary people, and are a high-risk group of gastric cancer, also known as gastric stump cancer.

The risk of cancer after gastric surgery is 4 to 7 times higher.

Mr. Li, 64, underwent subtotal gastrectomy for stomach bleeding in his teens, and it has not been a serious problem for decades. Unexpectedly, in the middle of last year, he suddenly discharged a lot of black stool, and after emergency medical treatment and blood transfusion, he was further diagnosed as the second stage of gastric cancer. Yu Zhengzhan, director of general surgery at Taichung Tzu Chi Hospital, pointed out that people who have undergone stomach surgery are four to seven times more likely to suffer from gastric cancer than ordinary people, and are a high-risk group of gastric cancer, also known as gastric stump cancer.

Minimally invasive total gastrectomy shortens postoperative recovery period

Some studies have pointed out that one out of every ten patients who have undergone stomach surgery suffers from gastric stump cancer; Director Yu Zhengzhan said that in the past, the surgery for gastric stump cancer was traditional open surgery. With the development of medical technology, the whole stomach can be removed through minimally invasive surgery. As long as you have the patience to separate the adhesions slowly, you can still achieve the effect of traditional surgery to remove cancer cells, which is of great help to patients' postoperative recovery.

People who have undergone stomach surgery should be followed up regularly.

Director Yu Zhengzhan further explained that the patient removed the whole stomach through minimally invasive surgery, effectively reducing the postoperative recovery time. But in fact, many patients who have undergone gastric surgery for many years still suffer from gastric cancer, but most of them are careless and have not been followed up regularly, which leads to some patients being found to have stage IV gastric cancer, which greatly reduces the treatment effect.

Follow-up diagnosis as soon as possible to improve the survival rate and cure rate.

According to research, people who get a knife in the stomach are more likely to get cancer than a group of people, even if they live a normal life and have a light diet, and the longer the time, the higher the risk; Director Yu Zhengzhan appealed that the high risk of cancer after being buried in the stomach is mainly due to bile and bacterial problems. Therefore, patients after gastric surgery should be reviewed regularly to achieve early detection and treatment, and improve the survival rate and cure rate.
